One story could be about strange noises. A person was home alone and heard scratching at the window all night. They were too scared to look outside. Another might involve things moving on their own. For example, a book that suddenly fell off the shelf when no one was near it. The third could be about seeing a shadowy figure. A girl was home alone and saw a human - like shadow pass by the hallway.
Once, I was home alone at night. I heard strange scratching noises coming from the attic. Every time I tried to convince myself it was just a rat, but the scratching got louder and more persistent. I was too scared to go and check. I just huddled under my blanket until morning when the noises finally stopped.
One story I heard was about a person who was home alone and kept hearing strange scratching noises at the window. Every time they looked, there was nothing there. But the scratching continued throughout the night. It turned out that a wild animal was trying to get in because it smelled food in the kitchen.
The scariest moment is often when you hear unexplained noises. For example, in many stories, people hear knocking on the door when they know no one should be there. It makes you wonder who or what could be outside, and the anticipation of something unknown is terrifying.
I haven't really had a full - on horror story but once when I was home alone, I heard a really loud bang from the basement. I was so scared that I didn't move for a while. Eventually, I grabbed a baseball bat and went to check. It was just an old box that had fallen over, but it sure gave me a scare.
It's hard to say for sure. Sometimes stories that seem true have elements of fiction mixed in. You'd have to look into the background and the author's intentions to know for sure.
A teenager was home alone for a weekend. They decided to try cooking a big meal for themselves. They followed a recipe online but ended up making a huge mess in the kitchen. The food was a bit of a disaster too, but they learned a lot about cooking from that experience. And they had a good laugh about it all by themselves.
Well, in some of these stories, there are experiences like doors opening and closing on their own. For example, a woman was home alone and all of a sudden, the bedroom door slammed shut even though there was no breeze or any logical reason for it. Also, there are tales of hearing disembodied voices. A young boy heard a faint whisper while he was alone at home, but he couldn't make out what it was saying. In another story, someone felt a cold hand on their shoulder while they were sitting in an empty room at home all by themselves.
One story is about a haunted cartoon studio. Workers there would hear strange laughter at night. They also saw shadowy figures that looked like the characters they were animating. It was so terrifying that many quit their jobs.
I was home alone and all the lights suddenly went out. As I was fumbling for a flashlight, I heard slow, heavy footsteps coming from the hallway. I thought it was an intruder. It turned out to be just the old floorboards creaking in a strange way due to the temperature change, but it was terrifying at that moment. I called my neighbor and stayed on the phone with them until the power came back on.
